Q:Random computer hangs, then now got ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

Hope everyone else is having a good Christmas I first built this PC two years then got ntoskrnl.exe computer BSOD now hangs, Random ago late in the first years the PC worked great Random computer hangs, then now got ntoskrnl.exe BSOD not a single problem Then in early this year my computer started getting errors this was when I still had windows first it was random I O write errors which doesn t cause hang or BSOD it simply shutdown my computer automatically after a few seconds then I occasionally get BSOD Back then I had to prepare for my high school exams so I didn t look into it and thought it was just a windows bug So fast forward to now last month I bought the windows and did a complete clean reinstall give up on all Random computer hangs, then now got ntoskrnl.exe BSOD my old files And the problem is still here well not exactly the same problem My windows doesn t experience I O write errors any more instead it started hanging stop responding with multiple applications completely at random both in terms of which application and when it Random computer hangs, then now got ntoskrnl.exe BSOD happens the computer would also stop responding when these application hangs freezes the mouse moves but nothing happens when clicking on the items and the only thing to do is a hard reset However since its not a BSOD it doesn t create dump files for analysis Luckily last night the BSOD happened and I got a dump can someone help me pls now the hang is happening everyday its unbearable Event viewer and reliability monitor doesn t say anything specific just app hang or unexpectedly shutdown My reliability index is at much appreciated I have upgrade my PC since I had the PC problems for example - Radeon HD to x GTX in SLI - OCZ modxstream W to GS w psu from Corsair So I think we can rule out the above My full spec - Nzxt Phantom white red case - Ga-z x-ud -b motherboard - I k CPU overclocked at Ghz - Kingston Hyperx ram - GTX x in SLI - Corsair GS w PSU - Vertex GB SSD for windows - Kingston Hyperx k SSD for often used programs - x TB HDD in Motherboard Raid for games storage I have tried running memtest on my ram all of it passes no error I tried disable my CPU overclock too but the problems is still there

If you're overclocking, please stop the overclock while we're troubleshooting. Feel free to resume the overclock once the system has been stabilized.

SSD's were temperamental when they first came out, but their reliability has improved greatly over the last year or two. There are 2 things that MUST be checked on systems with BSOD's and SSD's:

1) That the SSD firmware is the latest available for the SSD. I usually can't see this info in the reports, so I rely on you to check it.2) That the storage controller drivers on the motherboard are the most recent. They must date from late 2012 or later. This is ALL controllers, not just the one that the SSD is attached to. If involved these should be visible in the memory dump - but it doesn't hurt to check manually.

D: drive only has about 10% free space. Windows likes 15% free space in order to perform stuff "behind the scenes" without adversely affecting the system's performance. Please free up 15% on ALL hard drives (you can get away with 10% on larger drives and won't notice a large performance penalty)

You have at least 5 hard drives. What is the age of your Corsair GS800 Power Supply?

Please update the Intel Management Engine (yours dates from 2010):

Try these links:https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...ngine&lang=enghttps://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...ngine&lang=enghttps://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...ngine&lang=eng

Please note the drivers below that date from before the release of Windows 8.1 (17 Oct 2013) - check to see that each and every one is compatible w/Windows 8.1 (at the manufacturer's website). If not, you must either remove the device and it's software - or locate a Windows 8.1 compatible update on the web.

If all of this doesn't stop the BSOD's, please run Driver Verifier according to these instructions: Driver Verifier Settings

I recently decided to build my first PC and after I booted up and installed drivers in bulk using the installation disks included, I would recieve random crashes every now and then. The blue screens usually happen about within 1-15 mins of me booting up the computer. If it passes that point I'm usually in the clear to use it as long as I want. Please help.

Thanks

I randomly get BSOD while playing a game or just doing nothing but listening to music and watching youtube videos. My drivers are all up to date. I uploaded a file which i made with SF Diagnostic Tool. My computer specs are written on my profile too. It's getting annoying and I don't have a solution for this because I don't know if it's the software or hardware. I've been in several forums in order to find any solutions... found nothing.

I've checked the 'Event Logs' and they look clean. 'Crash Dump' detects BugCheck Code '0x00000124' caused by 'ntoskrnl.exe' driver; please refer to this 'article' and follow the suggested steps: Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to try

You may also try the following 'Microsoft Fixit'; and try updating 'Windows' to see if anything changes. Also observe the system for any crashes: Temporary connection-related errors may occur when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update

I'm getting random Blue Screens and can't figure out why. I'm not running any hardcore programs. I'm mostly just using Microsoft Office and Firefox. The BSOD's seem to happen when I'm in Outlook, Excel or Firefox. Haven't been able to determine exactly which at the time as I'm moving back and forth between them quite often.

I've tried the SFC command and it didn't find anything. I used BlueScreenViewer but not a lot of help. All drivers for sound and video have been updated. I've also updated the firmware to the Crucial M4 SSD version 040H.

And, Uninstall McAfee Using McAfee Removal Tool. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner. Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Free up the startup. Click on the Start buttonType “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.Select the “Startup” tab.Deselect all items other than the antivirus and touchpad driver SynTPEnh.Apply > OKAccept then restart.Let us know the results.

BSOD random, probably under heavy load situations. I dont know how to do.

A:Random BSOD - ntoskrnl.exe?

Hi wraggzeh, the first step would be to get a legitimate copy of Windows preferably Vistaas that PC doesn't officially have drivers newer then 2009 (except for one which is dated 2010)and the fact that it come preinstalled with it, that shouldn't be a problem if you hopefully didn'twipe your restore partition. Also make it x86 (32bit) as oppose to the x64bit you have installed at the momentseeing you only have 1GB of RAM.

? OS - Vista/ Windows 7 ? Windows 7 ? x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 ? What was original installed OS on system? Windows 7 ? Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)? pre-installed ? Age of system (hardware): all parts are different age ? Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS? about 3 months ? CPU AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+ ? Video Card Evga gtx 550 ti (I know its overkill, I'm just using it in this build until i get my new parts to build my other rig) ? MotherBoard Asrock n68s-ucc ? Power Supply - brand & wattage Corsair GS600w ? System Manufacturer Custom

this is my first time posting BSOD request and I have tried to do my best after reading BSOD posting instructions. If I missed anything, please be gentle.

So I have been getting BSOD at random, not that I am doing anything or after I do particular thing. Attached below are the logs and dropbox link to minidump (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...5-37721-01.zip). Glad if someone can help me address this. I REALLY want to avoid clean install.

Okay so I have a custom built PC Specs in ntoskrnl.exe Random BSOD's my profile Well I used to game on it regularly last summer before heading Random BSOD's ntoskrnl.exe to school and I never got any BSOD's or errors or anything really Well when I got back this summer I started getting gamename exe has stopped working for all games I had when I attempted to play them and then I started getting the BSOD's At first it seemed like it was just from gaming but then they started happening just randomly While downloading watching videos etc Just basic stuff I researched about as much as I could tried memtest no errors Tried using seatools no issues that it found with the HDD Now I have completely formatted my HDD and reinstalled windows but to no avail I'm sure there's a lot of out of date drivers considering I recently formatted like yesterday Hell I'm pretty sure I have the oldest version of Win I included a couple screencaps from BlueScreenView in my zip file The one titled quot abnormal quot I've only seen once The other one I've seen about - times If anybody could point me in the right direction I'd be extremely grateful Just FYI my MOBO is brand new as is the RAM and I just bought a w PSU so I wouldn't expect it to be a hardware issue I've spent about - on this computer and I really need to figure out how to get it running right again Thanks for any and all help

Which antivirus do you use?

Scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs only. Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKillerWindows Defender OfflineDo some Disc checks.Re-seat the sata and power.

Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk CheckSeatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate downloadBurn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.Post a screenshot of your HDD using CrystalDiskInfo - Software - Crystal Dew World.Download and install CCleaner. Then run it. Go to "Tools" .... by default it will open the "uninstall" tab. Click on save as text file. Save it on your desktop. Upload the text file for us.

I have been having random BSOD screens for about a month now , i have tried everything, even bought new memory , new wireless adapter, using 1 screen now. But nothing works. Sometimes it wont happen all day and sometimes 3-4 times in a row. Any help would be great thanks.

I had some BSOD, since several months... It mostly occurs during a games and watching videos on Youtube, also in VLC and other video players. It always look the same: screen freezing-->sound looping-->reboot.

You are my last hope ...

A:Random BSOD probably ntoskrnl.exe

I guess you have tried various versions of the display driver and now using the latest BETA, but still it is the same? Your earlier BSODs were stop 0x124, but the latest one is stop 0x116, which will provide us a more room to troubleshoot.

Upload a snapshot Using Speccy. Download and install Speccy. File> Save snapshot. Save it on desktop. Zip it and upload it following following Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums .Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not. eXtreme Power Supply CalculatorAlso let us know about the wattage of the PSU.

Bugcheck 109 means kernel code some how became corrupted and the kernel patch protection called the bugcheck function to prevent compromising security. There is usually caused by either one of the below reasons.

Since the BSOD also happened in safe mode, we should begin with a hardware verification. Most reliable tool to perform a memory test is Memetest86+. What you need to do is run at least eight passes with this tool. Read the below guide for detailed instructions.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

Make sure to complete at least eight passes. Otherwise it may not catch errors.

Scan for malwares.

If the memory test came clean,run a malware scan using the below tools preferably from "safe mode with networking".

Since quite a while I have have been having BSODs and I have no idea how to fix it.I've never had any troubles with BSODs before, until a couple of weeks ago.As I can recall it started after cleaning up my pc but I'm not entirely sure if that's the problem.

I run windows 7 home premium 64 bit on my pc,it's a full retail version.

I have searched a lot of forums with no succes so I hope you guys can help me out.

A:Random BSOD, ntoskrnl I think

Hello there!

Seems like there are multiple issues might be going on. First I would recommend you to remove AVG completely and run a removal to clean up left over files. You could install Microsoft Security Essentials instead. You have a pretty old driver dated 2005. We have to remove it or updated.

I am running a relatively new Win7 x64 System (about 4 weeks old) and getting now since one week or so random bsod with multiple error codes and causes. But mostly ntoskrnl.exe seems to be th culprit.It happens more or less randomly, but more often while using graphic programs as painter or games. Though somtims also in idle/while surfing/ listing to music/ wahtching video...

I would be glad if someone could help me.

dump files and permon report is attached.

A:Random BSOD - ntoskrnl.exe?

Hello, Luiaard, no need to apologize. Your English is perfectly fine.

Can you please update these old drivers? Old drivers can cause BSOD...

Quote:
Renaming drivers: create a restore point, using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, locate the driver files, and rename them from .sys to .old. Reboot and the drivers will not load. This will break whatever software or hardware these drivers are associated with.

Please REMOVE Daemon Tools/Alcohol 120%. They use a file sptd.sys, which is causing BSOD on some Windows 7 Systems. Use this SPTD uninstaller to delete sptd.sys when you are finished: DuplexSecure - Downloads

You may use MagicDisc is an alternative: Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) Overview

Update those drives (or rename), get rid of Daemon Tools, sptd.sys and reboot the system. See how the system goes. If BSOD occurs again, upload them. We will go from there.

Hi i'm new to this forum, so bare with me.
Im getting BSOD's very randomly i tried everything that i can think of like update everything to the latest, tested the memory with memtest(no errors were found) ran chkdsk nothing is working and im getting a bit frustrated the dump files are attached to this thread all help would be highly appretiated

Code:
Usual causes: Insufficient disk space, Device driver, Video card, BIOS, Breakpoint with no debugger attached, Hardware incompatibility, Faulty system service, Memory, 3rd party remote control
memory_corruption doesn't necessary mean that a RAM module is faulty, it can also point to a object which corrupted the RAM at the time of the crash, for instance a corrupted driver or program. Paging files and the CPU caches can also be causes.

Follow these steps -

Test for any corrupted drivers, by running Driver Verifier for least 24 hours, stop the test if a BSOD occurs before this time frame. Driver Verifier will place stress on the drivers within your system, which will cause corrupted drivers to crash and hopefully be pinpointed.Driver Verifier - Enable and DisableMemory:RAM - Test with Memtest86+Run Memtest86+ for least 7-8 passes, and preferrly overnight as it can take a while to fully complete.

Test each RAM stick individually, if an error is found then move the same RAM stick into the next DIMM slot and test again, if errors are found for the same RAM stick in every available slot then you have a faulty RAM module. On the other hand, if no errors are found in the next slot or the other slots for the same RAM module, then you have a faulty DIMM slot.

Test each RAM stick and every motherboard DIMM slot available.

Uninstall Kaspersky using Kaspersky Removal Tool. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner. Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below : Double click to open it.Click this button only:

If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.Free up the startup.Click on the Start buttonType “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.Select the “Startup” tab.Deselect all items other than the antivirus.Apply > OKAccept then restart.Let us know the results.

Computer crashes sporadically with no apparent trigger. Can happen while gaming, browsing, idling, or posting threads.Already gone back to microcenter 2 times and replaced motherboard, memory, and diskdrive. I really hope its not hardware related again....BlueScreenView primarily blames ntoskrnl.exe, but usbccgp.sys, Videoprt.sys, and some direct x crap has recently joined the bsod club.I have reinstalled the OS 3 times on different drives each time, but still the same problems. I have done virus scans, registry cleaning, defragement, sfc, memtest for about 12 hours no errors, driver updates, and offered incense to the microsoft gods.please help me! lol.

My recommendation is to stop spending money on replacing the hardware, and use it to purchase and install a genuine Windows 7. This will minimise the problems you are experiencing, and make subsequent diagnosis of BSOD's far more reliable. Once you are running a genuine Windows 7 installation, and are still experiencing BSOD's, we will be happy to help you solve them

Hello everyone,
I just got a new computer about 2 months ago. I got it so i coukd run Star Wars: The old Republic. The first month went well, with absolutely no problems. Then one time in game i got my first BSOD.

Hi I revamped an old X build some months ago It was an inherited computer with several problems I have been changing most of it CPU MOBO RAM HDD but random BSODs keep happening I'm running a fresh install of Windows Home x installed on a new BSOD ntoskrnl.exe Random SSD Random BSOD ntoskrnl.exe This is the rd time I have to restore Windows this week cause it keeps corrupting itself given a time I tried default drivers old drivers new drivers but nothing works and eventually I get BSODs related to IRQ Memory DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION Threads bad handled etc I have it slighty oced and heavily tested with Linx Prime Memtest Cinebench etc for stability BSViewer mostly blames ntoskrnl exe but I can't dive into the minidump I will attach last one I'm really desperate I have an even older setup with mostly same onboard devices on a X platform running flawless Any help would be very much appreciated

Hi drapos,

What tests exactly have you ran?Could you give details about the results of the tests?

Hello Quick history of my PC Bought it pre-made back in with the last years i have upgraded to a SSD and a new graphics card Within the last months or so I started getting intermittent BSOD's I decided probably stupidly to upgrade to Windows from BSOD's Random ntoskrnl.exe I figured I didn't have much to lose and it may help It appeared to help for a while and now I get BSOD's more then ever at least once a day There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it my PC may be idle while watching TV and I hear it reboot I attempted to run memtest but I couldn't get it to boot I was able to do it on another PC Random BSOD's ntoskrnl.exe but not the one in question I instead tried just running the windows memory diagnostic and it came up with nothing On a side note I'm considering just scrapping the PC and taking the GFX card and SSD and putting it into a new build if this one doesn't have an easy fix Thanks for any help I've been on forums google nonstop the last couple of days trying to get a fix but no luck so any guidance is greatly appreciated KEITH-PC-Thu zip

A:Random BSOD's ntoskrnl.exe

Additional info:When I was making my acct for the forum, and looking at my specs, I came across something odd. When I bought the computer I remember specifically 8 GB RAM. But now in my computer info it is telling my 6 GB, I opened the PC up and saw 4 sticks (I'm assuming 2 GB a piece). Is this some kind of trickeration(like it only shows what is usable or something) or could one of the sticks or the mobo port be bad?

Code:
BugCheck A, {8, 2, 0, fffff800033fe33e}
This bugcheck indicates pageable system memory was referenced at an IRQL too high which caused a page fault, since page faults cannot be resolved at an IRQL of 2 or higher the system bugchecks.

If the IRQL was at zero the system would still bugcheck given that the address being referenced was invalid.

Hello, I'm relatively knew to this forum so I dont know what to really post except for the .dmp files and what "bluescreenview" says. here goes.
Attached are .dmp files.
According to bluescreenview, all of my BSODs (which is over 30) have involved ntoskrnl.exe with the bug check string on most of them being "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH".
There are some misc. files being the causes of my BSOD's such as hal.dll with the bug check string as "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" which happened 2 hours ago.

I get random BSOD the only thing in common is the Crash Address: ntoskrnl.exe+7cd40.

I have already ran memtest86 for 7 hours which gave no errors (7 Passes) so dont think its a hardware problem.Link to my system specs http://speccy.piriform.com/results/z...PZIKm11WBJxcTUI have attached a copy of my dumpsThanksAlfred67

A:Random BSOD--ntoskrnl.exe

Ran sfc/verifyonly and found no errorsRunning "Verifier" crashed within about 4mins after rebooting.(copy of dump below) anyway to is which driver failed??Rebooted still running after 10 min so far.

Hello and thx for the assist. I have been experiencing many BSODs which started after I got a new pc.I followed the usual 'check cable connections', 'run on 1 ramstick', ect. All to no avail.I have ran a memtest which showed 1 of the 3 new DDR memorysticks was faulty. However after replacing them with my old DDR which have worked fine I still got a BSOD earlier today.

I am getting on average 5-6 BSODs per day ranging from ntoskrnl.exe to bwcw8x64.sys / wfplwfs.sys / dxgmms1.sys / verifierext.sys.Also it seems that my norton antivirus causes some issues.

I have updated all drivers, running the latests nVidia drivers and reinstalled Norton several times.

After upgrading my PC all hardware was new except for the CPU-cooler, GPU, HDD, SSD and Blu-ray drive.

Hey y'all, been getting this BSOD problem since I built the computer and I cant quite figure it out. i know ntoskrnl.exe is causing it, or is the last item on the stack. I grabbed dmp file of it and uploaded it if anyone could help me that would be GREAT!

A:BSOD random cause, thanks to ntoskrnl.exe

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs. Click on the Start buttonType ?msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.Select the ?Startup? tab.Deselect all items other than the antivirus.Apply > OKAccept then restart.Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers. Driver Verifier - Enable and DisableRun Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Information
Why Driver Verifier:It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

Warning
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

Tip

If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

If you upload dump files, please zip them up. They take less space and are easy for us to handle.

Unfortunately, the Windows Debugging Tools aren't able to access symbols for your operating system files (in particular NTOSKRNL.EXE / NTKRNLMP.EXE / NTKRNLPA.EXE / NTKRPAMP.EXE) from the Microsoft Symbol Server - so that makes debugging them difficult if not impossible.

Please do the following (this will not affect the analysis of the current files - but it may help later files that are acquired):- activate/validate the Windows installation at Genuine Microsoft Software- run sfc.exe /scannow to replace any problem files- open a support incident with Microsoft to see if they can fix the missing symbols issue ( Windows 7 Solution Center )- If that doesn't fix it, then wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows- don't use "leaked"/torrent builds

please remove or update these older drivers that were loaded at the time of the crash. Don't use Windows Update or the Update drivers function of Device Manager. Please use the following instructions to locate the most currently available drivers to replace the one's that you uninstall OR remove:

Some comments would seem appropriate here:- the audio and network components are older devices, so I'd wonder about the compatibility of your motherboard with Windows 7. It's important to use Windows 7 drivers if they are available. The use of Vista or earlier drivers is apt to have issues with older hardware - so I'd recommend a new mobo because of that.- the wireless USB adapter is known to have issues with Win7. You MUST use Win7 drivers with this device as other drivers are known to have issues. Additionally, you'll have less problems and greater connectivity if you switch over to a wireless card installed inside of your case (the antenna hangs out the back) that is Win7 compatible.

I have been getting BSODs randomly ever since I built this PC. I have looked online and checked the dump files and all appear to have something to do with the ntoskrnl.exe file. It looks as though it could be a number of different issues from drivers to RAM to my HDD.

Does anyone know what it could be specifically? I have attached the SF Diagnostic Tool's output zip with all the info.

Thanks in advance,
John

Fuzz67,

These minidumps don't contain enough information to directly pinpoint the cause. But because the errors are calling Windows Hardware Error Architecture it's safe to assume that an uncorrectable error occurred somewhere in hardware.

Hello guys. For some reason I get these random BSODs on this computer. I viewed dmp files in BluescreenView and it showed me that ntoskrnl.exe is causing the crash. I have reinstalled windows already (win7x64 ultimate), same thing happens randomly.

What's the driver that really crashes the system?
Thank you very much.

The minidumps are all the same. I would recommend that you check your memory and hard drive for errors. Here's more info:

Hi Miki, welcome to SevenForums!

Four dumps, two memory management, one IRQL and one System Service Exception. There's a few things I want you to do!

First off, in your drivers list I noticed you have dtsoftbus01.sys, which is a driver for Daemon Tools, and Daemon Tools is a VERY large causer of BSODs in the W7 environment. Please fully uninstall Daemon Tools and then restart your system.

Two tests I'd like you to run:

Hi I have been experiencing some BSOD issues lately They seem to happen randomly I have also been noticing that my computer is have some slow hangs at periods but it's rare and I can't pinpoint as to when it happens I have attached Random - ntoskrnl.exe to blame?

I have attached the zipped contents of my C:\Windows\Minidump folder. I looked at a few files and ntoskrnl.exe was to blame for two to the crashes and wininit.exe was to blame for the third.

Also, for the past several months I have been having rare issues with high DPC latency. It seems to happen when I'm playing an online game and the system sound will start stuttering and the computer will slow down. When this happens, if I continue playing eventually the entire system will crash and if I exit the game I avoid the crash, but latency is still high. I was using this program to check DPC latency: DPC Latency Checker

I don't know if that is related to these BSODs.

I noticed in the system health report that it's showing no antivirus software. I am currently running Avira and my firewall is COMODO.

I am using 64 bit Windows 7 Professional, full retail. My system is about 2 years old and my Windows 7 install is about 1 - 1.5 years old.

Thanks!

Disk Controller problem please run chkdsk

A- CHKDSK /R /F:

Run CHKDSK /R /F from an elevated (Run as administrator) Command Prompt.

Do this for each hard drive on your system.

When it tells you it can't do it right now - and asks you if you'd like to do it at the next reboot - answer Y (for Yes) and press Enter.

Then reboot and let the test run.

It may take a while for it to run, but keep an occasional eye on it to see if it generates any errors.

See "CHKDSK LogFile" below in order to check the results of the test.B- Elevated Command Prompt:

Go to Start and type in "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)

At the top of the Search Box, right click on Cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator"C-CHKDSK LogFile:

Go to Start and type in "eventvwr.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter

Hi guys.I just got my laptop from a warranty repair and after a few hours (after I reinstalled windows etc) I randomly got a BSOD. It was only one so far and I had my laptop on whole night downloading games off steam and origin and had no errors at all, but still I wonder what could cause it? I haven't tried to run any games or heavy software like 3DS max yet but I wonder if it's possible to detect the issue already?I read on some forum that Catalyst's 14.4 version can cause this so I downgraded to 13.2.Minidump attached!thank you!

A:Random BSOD ntoskrnl.exe+153ca0

Similar issue, although my computer screen just goes black. The only way to recover is to hard reboot. One time the minidump blamed BasicRender.sys, but the other 3 times I've caught a minidump they blame ntoskrnl.exe+153ca0. Here is a link to my minidump:

Followup: MachineOwner---------
As you are saying that you ran memtest86+ for long enough without any error report, let us check for any driver causing a stack overflow. Enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers. Driver Verifier - Enable and DisableRun Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Information
Why Driver Verifier:It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

Warning
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

Tip

If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit which has blue screened three times today. I am attaching the dumps.

I ran chkdsk /R and Windows memory diagnostic and they found nothing. I also ran sfc /scannow, a full virus check using Microsoft Security Essentials, and made sure everything was installed with Windows Update. I appreciate any and all insight.

I am new to this forum so please go easy on me . I have been having random BSOD's and Freezes. They have been very very random sometimes won't even have a freeze or blue screen for a month then poof randomly happens. The Blue screens seem to only happen when i am surfing the net. I can game all day NP sometimes it will freeze but very very rarely while playing games. I will sit and surf the net a bit and maybe some netflix and then poof it will either freeze or bluescreen. My temps are fine i just recently replaced my heatsink. But that isin't what caused the freezing and bluescreens. Cause i replaced my heatsink a week ago and this stuff started happening a month or two ago. Please let me know if i need to add any other stuff.

I recently had to re-image my PC due to a virus and have been in the process of reinstalling and updating everything. Partway through I started getting many BSODs. Sometimes it will happen before windows finishes loading everything and sometimes it will be stable for quite a while before failing. I believe the computer may have lost power during a windows update shortly before the BSODs started happening but I am not sure. I have checked the dumps with bluescreenView and it always seems to point to ntoskrnl.exe (sometimes it points to a second file as well but that one is always implicated). I have also tried removing my RAM sticks one at a time and still have the same problems. I have included the dump files and am happy to try anything you recommend. PLEASE HELP!

Hello Nick.

It appears that the BSOD is caused by Intel Gigabit network adapter driver.

And the driver is old.

Update your ATI/AMD display driver. You can get it from the link in our forum, Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7, or you may go to AMD Graphics Driver and Software and opt for Automatically Detect and Install the appropriate driver for your card.

During installation, you may opt for advanced installation, and install the display driver only, not the Catalyst Control Center.

Hello, I have begun getting BSOD's often. BSODviewer says that it is "ntoskrnl.exe" and some times also "Win32k.sys" together with "ntoskrnl.exe". I have tried Driver Verifier but it does not make any .dmp files when crash occur. I did not check Windows drivers in Driver Verifier and Windows would not boot up with Driver Verifier enabled. It's random when it's happening. I have tried Memtest86+ with 2 passes and it has begun to piss me a little off.

Hello phantomsa and welcome to Sevenforums.

To be able to help you, we'd need a full attachment in order for us to analyse your crash. The below link will guide you through some steps for catching these files. If you have any questions just ask us.

http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html

With that said, I'll look at the stand-alone dumps.

BSOD Analyse

ATI-driver was blamed. Do the below tutorial in order to achieve a clean install without leftover files of the driver.

i) Make your way to ATI Drivers - Downloads and download the latest driver for your card, save it to your desktop for instanceii) Uninstall the Graphic driver you currently have and all its extensions (do not reboot yet)iii) Download Driver Sweeperiv) Get to safe mode (without network) and search for Driver Sweeper in your v) Select all the ATI components and analyse themvi) Clean them, head into Windows without internet and install the driver you've downloaded previously

Memtest86+

Looking at your bugcheck it's likely that a memory corruption event was triggered. Though a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors.

To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Code:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or itis pointing at freed memory.Arguments:Arg1: fffff1001673859c, memory referenced.Arg2: 0000000000000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.Arg3: fffff88007864b95, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory address.Arg4: 0000000000000007, (reserved)

Hello, I'm having random BSOD's caused by ntoskrnl.exe which always shows in nirsofts blue screen viewer as ntoskrnl.exe+72a40, this has happened 4 times in a few months. I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me identify the cause of this annoying BSOD. I have attached the zip file per the BSOD posting instructions.

I've had BSOD's going on for a while and I've had no idea why until recently when i found out it was because of a .sys file called atikmpag.sys was failing. I solved that by installing new drivers for my graphics card. Then i was "BSOD-free" for about twelve hours until this new ntoskrnl.exe started failing on me aswell. I have no idea how to fix this and I'd like some help with it! The BSOD's come mostly while playing a game for instance WoW. I can sometimes play non-stop for hours, and sometimes it just BSOD on login. Sometimes the whole screen just go blurry and it doesn't go to a BSOD, but it just freezes the whole computer. As I said, I've got no idea how to fix this.

I've uploaded the minidumps from last two days of BSOD's.

I hope that You can help me. I would appreciate it very much!

Please 'Grab all' and upload a new zip:Blue Screen of Death Posting Instructions

I have been getting completely random blue screen crashes for some time now. There is generally no consistency regarding the app used, apps running or time of day. Most reference ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7CC40)with errors such as POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT etc. I have run memory tests using the bootable memtest cd and have also run the standard disk checks all with no errors.

I have attached the requested BSOD Dump & System File output along with the perfmon data.

If additional information is required to assist in troubleshooting this issues, please let me know.

Thank you for your time.

A:Random BSOD - ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7CC40)

These crashes were caused by memory corruption/exception (probably a driver).Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.

* If you are overclocking anything reset to default before running these tests.In other words STOP!!!

* If you have raid update its Driver.

Memtest.

Quote:
*Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

*Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

Any errors are indicative of a memory problem.

If a known good stick fails in a motherboard slot it is probably the slot.

RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Driver verifier

Quote:
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly.The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out.If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation.

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

Hi.

Here is your error and they are both read and write operations. You may follow suggestions in an attempt to alleviate the bsod.

Also, you can see if any patches are available for Call Of Duty 4.

Update your bios and chipset drivers if possible. Good luck with this.

"IMAGE_NAME: memory_corruption"

Run memtest for the system ram and find a software that can test video ram. Run these for as long as possible and that you can stand too. Sometimes, errors are only found this way.

Open an elevated command prompt and run this command as many times as necessary. One for each partition on the system, while changing C: to match.

chkdsk /r C:

If overclocking ram, video or memory, set to default speeds and test. If you are using performance memory, visit the maker's site for suggested Vdimm and timings to set in the bios.

I am getting BSOD every couple of days with no apparent reason sometime with doing virus scans, running windows movie maker and sometime while idle. Not sure what's going on please help - I have attached .dmp for assessment.

Hopefully someone can advise me on this not really a huge problem but would like to resolve it before it becomes one.

I have had this issue on-and-off for roughly 4 months now; it is not bricking my system just seems to happen every-other log on (usually my first log-in)

My futile attempts of fixing this issue has resulted in purchasing new memory, a new graphics card, a new PSU and finally a new USB wi-fi dongle (have not received yet)

I have tried countless programs CCleaner, Blue screen view, tweaking.com, memtest, even a fresh install (twice). I do dabble in computer maintenance but this has been the first time I have been lost for solutions.This is my first time, so If you need any further info just let me know.

Started out as a random once in a while BSOD that was reporting ntoskrnl.exe, after a while the random BSOD became more frequent. Mainly when doing work on photoshop or writing a document on word. I initially though it was a hardware issue, so i went through GPU CPU and Memory stress tests through Fulmark, prime95 and Memtest86 with no errors and temps still under 50c under load for 10-25min as reported on HWmonitor and GPU-Z.

My frustration got to the point where i just did a fresh installed windows, and im now getting the same random BSOD that cycles through ntoskrnl.exe or ntfs.sys.

I used WhoCrashed to look at the minidump files I have reasons that show in all the errors quot page fault in nonpaged area quot and quot Memory Management quot both point to ntoskrnl exe The crashes happen - times a day and seem random The machine hardware and software have remained mainly untouched for years and have been working fine up to a month ago Everything is stock NO OC Has the latest BIOS AsRock N -S UCC I ran the latest version of memtest - page_fault_in_nonpaged_area ntoskrnl.exe Random BSOD for roughly hours passes and have zero errors Nirsoft bluescreenview points to TCPIP and also the AMD driver along with ntoskrnl exe I've updated the AMD driver to the latest version and still have had it crash Also the network and other drviers havent been updated and have been working fine for a long time I've Random BSOD - page_fault_in_nonpaged_area ntoskrnl.exe ran Prime for min without issue I've ran FurMark video torture test for min without issue I've physically inspected Video Card for any bad caps I've plugged PSU into tester all voltages are within range I'm running chkdsk now to do deep scan Is there a better way to analzye the crash dumnp files What are Random BSOD - page_fault_in_nonpaged_area ntoskrnl.exe next steps Thanks

Hi cgsd117 welcome to SF.

Well you have one and only minidump

So please follow these steps in this order,

If you had made any changes with riva tuner please set everything back to default.

Update or uninstall RivaTuner if not needed anymore,your verion is from 2005 .

Hello,A friend gave me her computer to fix because it has been BSODing at random times. I'm completely stumped after working on it, and i have yet to find a fix for the ntoskrnl.exe crash. I'm not a professional but the minidumps are blaming that driver so i just dont know. Any help is appreciated.

Error : DCACHEL1_EVICT_ERR (Proc 1 Bank 0)
Status : 0xb600400070000175
Address : 0x0000000000000b00
Misc. : 0x0000000000000000
The first parameter or argument has the value of 0x0, which is a Machine Check Exception, which means the CPU has detected a hardware problem and the address points to a processor error because the CPU has found one, so it could be a different form of hardware which is causing the issue. However, the error does point to the Level 1 Cache.

In such a situation, it is best to use these steps:Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95Enable "Round off checking" before the test (see first post below tutorial).
Stop 0x124 - what it means and what to tryAll the hardware seeming to be running stable and tests reporting no errors, could mean a bad motherboard.

Hi, i'm receiving random BSOD's for a long time. I want to fix it but i don't know much about it, so sorry if it isn't the good information. According to BlueScreenView, it's mostly the ntoskrnl.exe, but there are also messages about AsrOcDrv.sys, nvlddmkm.exe and ntfs.exe. I just did wat the BSOD posting guide said so hopefully it's enough.

I forgot to say that this bluescreens happened after I recovered my brothers laptop from the manufacturers recovery media.

Hi, I built a new pc but since putting it together and installing windows7 i have been getting BSOD's with varying bug check string values, but is nearly always caused by the driver "ntoskrnl.exe". not sure what to do and it's really starting to annoy me as I thought it could be the wireless driver so I updated it and had no bsod for a week or so but they have started occurring again, any help provided would be much appreciated. Attached are my dump files and other stuff the program deemed important.

Multiple bugcheck codes in a small time interval. It indicates to a memory malfunction. Not necessarily the physical memory, a misbehaving driver may also do it.

Test your RAM modules for possible errors. How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+Run memtest86+ for at least 8 consecutive passes.

If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

If it does not show any error, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers. Driver Verifier - Enable and DisableRun Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Information
Why Driver Verifier:It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

Warning
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

Tip

If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.______________________________________

Hey folks, had these crashes for a while (over a year or so?). Never figured out why and kind of lived around it, but if it could be solved, that would be great.

It occurs pretty randomly, rarely in idle times though. Seems to occur most frequently during certain games or movie watching. Of course I have checked graphics cards drivers and memtest, but to no luck.

Windows 7 was the first OS on this system as I set it up myself, Windows 7 Professional x64 Retail. System was built in spring 2010.

System specs should be filled in. Please let me know if I can add any additional info that might help.

Was looking around at other nto bsod topics and some mentioned driver verifier.Ive tested that recently and i cant even boot up without blue screening.

Ive also ran memtest and all the ram sticks came back pass

Was looking over perfmon and it says i have no anti virus which i do its Kaspersky KIS 2012.The Printer device drivers are intentionally disabled

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpointsthe driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this addressas well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hardcoded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never havehardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and thesystem is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint ishappening.Arguments:Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handledArg2: fffff80003b0ac81, The address that the exception occurred atArg3: fffff880039920e8, Exception Record AddressArg4: fffff88003991940, Context Record Address

I've built a new system only a few weeks ago. Sometimes i have a bsod " PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" releated to "ntoskrnl.exe", i've tested the RAM with memtest for 10 pass with no error. Reset bios done and no oc.

I'm having problems finding out what the problem is. I have uploaded the minidump.

If you need anything else, just let me know, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"NOTE: You can use Low Resource Simulation if you'd like. From my limited experimentation it makes the BSOD's come faster.- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line:
